New Position: Working in Sweden?!

I would like to draw your attention to a PhD position available from October, 2025 at the Division of Chemical Physics, Lund University, in the group of Donatas Zigmantas. The PhD work will be carried out within the framework of European Innovation Council funded project Bioinspired Singlet Fission Photon Multipliers (BioSinFin). The goal of BiosSinFin is to use singlet-fission active chromophores and red-emitting materials in protein scaffolds to fabricate a coating for sensitization of Si solar cells to achieve up to an additional 5% conversion efficiency. One objective of the PhD project will be to use multidimensional electronic spectroscopy to explore singled fission process in various molecules in protein scaffolds, which will facilitate gaining fundamental understanding of the phenomenon. The second objective will be to study triplet energy transfer between singled fission and red emitting materials. The main aim is to identify the best material for singlet fission and best material combinations and arrangements in the protein scaffolds to achieve the highest efficiency conversion between absorption of high-energy photons and emission by the red emitting materials.

Besides the high quality of life afforded in Sweden, the position offers the possibility to work in a diverse and stimulating interdisciplinary environment at the Division of Chemical Physics, Lund University. The successful candidate should preferably have a background in physical chemistry, or molecular physics or laser spectroscopy.
